The 2014-2015 year saw major changes to the TS-SIS Grants Program. Modifications and additions to TS-SIS grants that were approved in the previous term were finalized and made public. These efforts standardized and clarified grants while increasing support for members with varying levels of experience to attend different AALL educational opportunities.
Grant funds are paid out as reimbursements. As of the writing of this report, those funds have not yet been expended. All of the grants cover the cost of registration for the AALL annual conference. The Active Member Grant covers the cost of registration plus travel expenses (up to $1,000).
In addition to the grants for the AALL annual conference, the Committee established criteria for a new grant to support a TS-SIS member attending the 2015 AALL Management Institute. On November 7, 2014 the Awards Committee submitted a recommendation to the Board for the grant's criteria, application requirements and deadline. The recommendation was approved on November 17 and the committee sent out announcements publicizing the grant to members on the same day. The Committee received no applications for this grant prior to the due date of December 15th.
As the term drew to a close, the Committee worked out the details of a permanent grant for the AALL Management Institute and a grant for the AALL Leadership Academy, to be awarded in alternate years. These grants were based on the criteria proposed by the ad hoc committee from the previous year. In the fall of 2014, the Committee had elected to put the Leadership Grant on hold until the spring. Details of these grants were discussed via email in late May and early June. The Committee submitted a recommendation to the Board on June 15, 2015 to permanently add these grants to the TS-SIS grants program. The recommendation was approved by the Board on June 17 with the stipulation that language be added about reimbursement and clarification of the grants' deadlines.
The Awards Committee began soliciting nominations for the 2015 Renee D. Chapman Memorial Award for Outstanding Contributions in Technical Services Law Librarianship on October 23, 2014. The Committee received two nominations for the Chapman Award by the February 1, 2015 deadline. The Committee met via teleconference in late February to discuss the nominations and subsequently committee members voted by secret ballot. Brian D. Striman, Professor of Law Library and Head of Technical Services and Catalog Librarian at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Law Schmid Law Library, was selected as the award recipient. Brian was notified and an announcement about his selection as the award recipient was sent out to the TS-SIS community on April 14, 2015. Announcement of this award was also posted to the TS-SIS website and submitted to AALL for inclusion in its annual awards publication. AALL headquarters will have a plaque made to be presented to Brian at the Technical Services SIS Business Meeting on July 20, 2015.
On December 17, 2013, The Awards Committee solicited nominations from the Law Library community for the Renee D. Chapman Award. During the second week of January 2014 reminders about the upcoming deadline of February 1 were sent out to the Law Library community via list serves. The Committee received two nominations before the February 1 deadline. On March 5, via WebEx, the committee members discussed and evaluated each nominee. Members of the Committee voted by secret ballot and unanimously selected John Hostage, Senior Continuing Resources Cataloger, from Harvard Law School Library. After John and AALL Headquarters were contacted, the selection was announced publicly to the law library community through list serve postings on May 13, 2014. A brief article outlining John's contributions to the law library community and technical services was submitted to the list serves and posted on the TS-SIS Awards webpage. This outline will also be published in the June 2014 issue of TSLL. AALL HQ will have a plaque made for presentation to John in San Antonio at the Technical Services SIS Business Meeting on July 13, 2014.
This year the TS-SIS Executive Board committed $2500 toward grants. Two general educational grants of $1000 each were awarded in addition to the Marla Schwartz Grant of $500. On March 5, 2014, announcement of the available grants was posted to the Law Library community. A total of six applications were received. Two applicants expressed interest in applying for the Marla Schwartz Grant. On April 24, 2014, a WebEx meeting was held to discuss and select grant recipients. The Marla Schwartz Grant recipient was Michelle Modic, who is a May graduate and a Technical Services Intern at Duke University, Goodson Law Library. The recipients of the educational grants were Ning Han, Concordia University School of Law Library, Boise, ID; and Sabrina Davis, Oklahoma City University School of Law Library, Oklahoma City, OK. After notifying the recipients, email notifications were sent to applicants not receiving grants. Recipients were publicized through list serves and the TS-SIS Awards and Grants Webpage. AALL was notified of the awards so that the grantees would be listed in the newsletter, the brochure for the AALL conference.
An ad-hoc group comprised of volunteers from the current TS-SIS Awards Committee (Wendy Moore, Jennifer Noga, and Ted Pitts), the TS-SIS Vice-Chair (Suzanne Graham) ,and Second-Year Member-at-Large (Cindy Spadoni) drafted a proposal that was approved by the TS-SIS Executive Board which provides for additional educational grants to all TS-SIS members In addition to the Marla Schwartz Education Grant and funding for new members, grants will be available to experienced TS-SIS members, active TS-SIS members, and TS-SIS members who are accepted into the AALL Leadership Academy.
On November 30 2012 nominations for the Renee D. Chapman Award were solicited via the Law Library community. Prior to the deadline, February 1st 2013, the Committee received two nominations. Via two conference calls and email discussions the members of the committee evaluated each nominee. Each nominee was accorded confidentiality and judged by the criteria outlined in the TS-SIS Handbook. Members of the Committee voted on the nominees by secret ballots. Sally H. Wambold, Technical Services Librarian from University of Richmond School of Law Library was selected. Several weeks into her retirement Sally was informed of the decision by phone, after which the selection was announced publicly on May 8, 2013. Sally will receive the plaque in Seattle at the Technical Services SIS Business Meeting on July 14, 2013.
This year the TS-SIS Executive Board decided to dedicate $2500.00 in grant money. This amount was divided among two educational grants of $1000.00 each and $500.00 for the Marla Schwartz Grant. In January 2013 announcements for the grants were sent via the Law Library community. Prior to the deadline, April 13, 2013, the Committee received six applications, four for the Educational Grants and two for the Marla Schwartz Grant. The Committee discussed each applicant via email and conference call and those selected were notified by telephone and also email within a month after the deadline. The Marla Schwartz Grant was offered to Antionette Vanterpool, who is currently attending Library School at Florida State University while working as a Library Assistant in the Legal Information Center at the University of Florida, Levin College of Law. The Educational Grants were offered to Diana Menashi, Head Cataloger at Joseph D. Fuchsberg Law Center, Gould Law Library, Touro Law College in New York; and Joseph A. Reimers, who is currently earning his MSLIS at Drexel University's ISchool while working as a Technology Support Assistant 3 at Notre Dame, Kresge Law Library since June 2002. All pertinent parties within AALL were notified of the awards so that the grantees would be listed in the newsletter, the brochure for the AALL conference and on the TS-SIS website. The information was also posted on various AALL social networking sites.
It was the Committee's wish to provide a fillable form for the grant application but due to time constraints and workload demands that wish did not materialize this year. The Committee therefore recommends this as an improvement to the application process beginning with next year's applications.
The Awards Committee solicited nominations from the Law Library community for the Renee D. Chapman Memorial Award. We received two nominations prior to the deadline. The Committee selected George Prager of the New York University Law Library for the award. George was informed of the decision by phone, and then the selection was announced publicly on March 27, 2012. George will receive the plaque in Boston at the Technical Services SIS Business Meeting on July 22, 2012.
The grant applications were down considerably this year. We received four grant applications: two for the Marla Schwartz Grant and two regular grants. The Marla Schwartz Grant was awarded to Michael Umberger, who is currently in school at the University of Washington. With the regular grant applications, after much discussion by the Committee the decision was made to disqualify both applications.
On the 1st of November 2010, the committee sent out an email seeking nominations for the Renee D. Chapman Award. During the following three months more notices were emailed out seeking nominations for this award.
A total of five names were submitted to the committee for the Renee D. Chapman Awards by February 1st, 2011. During February and March of 2011 the committee evaluated the nominees for their qualifications according to the AALL TS-SIS handbook. The committee also had two conference calls where they discussed the nominees. During the second of these calls the committee voted on their choices and a selection was made. Yael Mandelstam, Head of Cataloging at Fordham University School of Law Library was selected to receive the Renee D. Chapman Memorial Award for Outstanding Contributions to Technical Services Law Librarianship. After receiving approval from the TS-SIS Executive board the committee chair then contacted Ms. Mandelstam by phone to inform her of her selection and a written confirmation letter was also mailed to Ms. Mandelstam.
Beginning February 1st, 2011 through March 30th, 2011, the committee sent out emails to the various AALL lists announcing the availability of TS-SIS Educational Grants and the Marla J. Schwartz Grant that were available to individuals to attend various AALL sponsored or TS-SIS sponsored events at the 2011 annual meeting in Philadelphia, PA. By April 1st, 2011 the committee had received a total of ten applications for these grants. The committee discussed the applicants via email and conference call over the two month time period. Upon voting the committee selected eight individuals to receive grants. Seven were for educational grants to cover either AALL conference registration, CONELL, or a TS-SIS workshop and one Marla Schwartz grant was awarded. After receiving approval from the Executive Board the grant recipients were notified via telephone or email of their awards. Grant recipients were also given the name of the current TS-SIS Secretary/Treasurer to contact regarding their grants. All pertinent parties within AALL were notified of the awards given so that they would be listed in the newsletter, brochure for the AALL conference and on the TS-SIS web site. The information was also sent out to the various AALL lists.
Beginning October 1, 2009, the committee sent out e-mail notices to all relevant AALL listservs seeking nominations for the Renee D. Chapman Memorial Award for Outstanding Contributions in Technical Services Law Librarianship. Each month thereafter through January 22, 2010, more notices were sent to seek nominations for the award.
Four names were submitted for the Chapman Award. During the months of February and March, the Committee evaluated the nominees based on their qualifications for the award according to the TS-SIS Handbook. In the middle March 2010, the Committee chair informed the TS-SIS Chair and the Board regarding selection of the candidate, Carol Avery Nicholson, Associate Director for Technical Services at the Kathrine Everett Law Library, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After approval from the Board, Ms. Nicholson was notified by phone and e-mail and the announcement was sent out via the TS-SIS listserv, published in the TS-SIS Newsletter, and posted on the TS-SIS website. The current AALL Awards Committee Chair, Camille Broussard, as well as Kim Rundle at AALL HQ, were notified regarding the recipient of the Chapman Award. AALL HQ will have a plaque made for presentation to Carol and the announcement will be posted in the AALL Awards brochure for the annual meeting. Margaret Maes, Executive Director of the Legal Information Preservation Alliance, nominated Ms. Nicholson for the Chapman Award, and has agreed to present the award to her at the TS-SIS Business Meeting at the AALL conference in Denver this summer.
On February 1, 2010, the Committee sent out e-mail messages to the various AALL lists announcing the availability of the TS-SIS educational grants, as well as the Marla J. Schwartz Grant, which help fund attendance at the AALL Annual Meeting, pre-conference workshops, and/or the CONELL meeting each year. Two more reminder e-mail notices were sent out before April 1, 2010 (the deadline for applications for these grants).
By the April 1 deadline, the Committee received four applications for the TS-SIS grants or the Marla Schwartz grant. (There were no TS-SIS Pre-Conference Workshops to be offered this year.) During April, the Committee members evaluated all applications based on the guidelines set forth in the TS-SIS Handbook. All four applicants received $445 to cover Program Registration costs to attend the Denver annual meeting. One applicant, who had also applied for funding to attend CONELL, additionally received $100 via a Marla Schwartz grant to cover registration costs at that meeting. The following individuals received a grant for attendance at the AALL or CONELL annual meetings: Ajaye Bloomstone, Amanda Quist, Courtney Selby, and Caroline Young. All recipients were notified by telephone, as well as with a follow-up e-mail message congratulating them and requesting that they contact Wendy Moore, the current Secretary/Treasurer, regarding registration submission and reimbursement procedures.
Beginning on October 1, 2008 the committee sent out emails to all relevant AALL list serves seeking nominations for the Renee D. Chapman Award for Outstanding Contributions in Technical Services Law Librarianship. Each month following until mid January 2009 more emails were sent out to seek nominations for this award.
Five names were submitted for the Chapman Award. During the months of February and March 2009, the awards committee evaluated the nominees and their qualifications for the award according to the TS-SIS Handbook. In the middle of March 2009 the Awards Chair informed the TS-SIS Chair and the board of the selection of the candidate, Curt E. Conklin, and after approval from the board Mr. Conklin was notified via phone and a mailed letter and the announcement was sent out via email and to be published in the TS-SIS Newsletter. The AALL Awards Committee Chair as well as AALL Headquarters was also notified on the recipient of the Chapman Award. Arrangements were made with AALL HQ to have a plaque made and announcement posted in the AALL AWARDS Brochure for the annual meeting.
On February 1, 2009, the committee sent out emails to the various AALL lists announcing the availability of the Marla J. Schwartz Grant and the TS-SIS Educational Grants to attend programs at the 2009 AALL Annual Conference. Two more emails were sent out before April 1, 2009 reminding individuals of the available grants.
By the April 1st deadline the committee received thirteen applications for TS-SIS Grants. One applicant was disqualified due to lack of required letters of reference.
During April 2009 the committee members evaluated all applications and the guidelines set forth in the TS-SIS Handbook. Since the committee had several good applicants and due to the current economic status we tried to give as many individuals as possible some part of the overall grant monies. The committee choose one applicant, Leslie K. Wakeford, to receive the Marla J. Schwartz Grant. The TS-SIS Chair was informed of the selection before notifying the recipients. The following individuals received a grant to either attend CONELL, AALL registration, or a workshop registration: Ajaye Bloomstone, Iris Garcia, Lindsay Beth Given, Emily Philips, Victoria Sukhol, Richard Todd, and Jared Wellman. All recipients were notified by a phone call or email as well as a letter via the mail. Non winners were notified by letter. A total of $2,520.00 was given out in TS-SIS Educational Grants.

How to win a cat at staring?
Answer from: Dmitry Z.:
Who has a lot of answers, there must be even more questions....
Cats are good at staring, so it's hard to win on a level playing field. You have to resort to a trick. Move your hand to the side so that the cat has a reflex. He'll look to see what's in it, hoping it's food.
Or there's a more foolproof way, using a laser pointer. But that's too tough on the animal.
Answer from: Alexander Zaitsev:
Translator, Literary Reviewer...
Find a comrade with whom you can get into an argument. Comrade must have a cat. Comrade must blink intensely and be nervous. Play staring with a comrade, beat him, win the dot. Done.
Why hamsters and pigs sometimes hover for no reason, staring at one point?
How to get rid of the habit of looking at people, staring at them intently (they are embarrassed), in a situation where they are cute interesting to me?
My friends condescend to my problem, they tease me, but I am ashamed of myself. All I think about is this, staring at girls. How to reduce libido (do not offer options to find or rent a girl)?
Why does it sometimes feel like someone is standing behind me and staring at me?
Psychology,	why do I know that?,	pets,	animals
What do they do with dead animals after they are put to sleep?
What to say to people who have a dead pet?
How to make friends with two cats, one is one year old and is much bigger and stronger than the one that is two months old?
Do animals have personal boundaries?
Why do some people like dogs better than others like cats? Is it related to any character traits?

I Love Thailand - But Not Its Litter Problem...
Sammy Brichard
Create Sponsor
I asked a little Thai lady where the bin was. She told me "Thailand is bin!"
Invite Sammy to write
I'm lucky enough to be blogging from South East Asia. Right now I'm in my pants by the pool, somewhere off the coast of Thailand. It's 32 degrees - I'm living the life.
But more and more since I've been here, I've noticed something which is a bit of a shame - the mess. Bin's out on Thursday doesn't exist in Bangkok, and there's no 5p charge for plastic bags. If you want to buy a banana, you have the choice between grabbing a tiny bunch from a woman on the street or one that's shrink-wrapped and bagged from a 7-11.
And it really hit home when I went snorkeling yesterday - among a load of plastic bags and dead coral. Yuck.
I grabbed this picture off the internet - but actually snapped the main one for this article on my phone. Both are grim.
But Aren't People Environmentally Conscious These Days?
This seems quite weird to me - I guess because in the UK caring for the environment has been drilled into my generation. I have a lot of vegan friends, follow environmental activists on Twitter and saw the damage humans have done to the sea in Blue Planet II.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no environmental activist - I've been refusing plastic bags and putting my litter in bins but I'm definitely not a shining example.
The point I'm making is that I am, at least, aware of the damage that we have on our planet. There are exceptions to the rule, but here in South East Asia the rule seems to be that no-one has even really heard of sustainability. When I asked one woman in Bangkok if there was a bin to put some litter in, she laughed and told me: "Thailand is bin!"
Of course, that's just my experience, but I think that's why it's become more pertinent to me. When I read that nine of the ten most polluting rivers are in Asia, it was an abstract notion to me - but when I walked past a gentle flow of plastic bottles in Bangkok it became a bit more real.
Thailand's Lack of Awareness
Air pollution, animal conservation, coral reef destruction and more are problems which we in the UK think of as being tackled. Don't get me wrong, it's not that people here don't care about them. The fact is they simply aren't aware that caring for our planet is incredibly important.
I doubt that anyone would chuck bits of Styrofoam in the sea knowing that it will kill the fish and birds who nibble on it - but out here this is still a massive problem.
Save the turtles man!
Even the multi-national corporations like 7-11 (who I would have thought were required to be environmentally conscious) show no sign of awareness. It's appalling!
In fact, you'd be forgiven for wondering if anything at all is being done. I recently read an article online stating that Mumbai has passed new laws, whereby anyone caught with a single-use plastic bag can be fined or jailed. Trust me - if that were passed in Bangkok there'd be no-one left.
Yesterday I also came across a place with recyclable straws. It feels like there could be a teeny, weeny bit of momentum building behind the cause... But certainly not much.
My Q. To You...
So this post poses a question. In richer countries like the one I come from, many people are aware of the risks to our planet which are posed by littering, polluting and being careless. But how can we help this idea spread?
Western travelers come to places like Thailand to enjoy the cheep beer and lush beaches, but we should surely be doing more to educate others in the world about this globe-spanning problem - which requires a global effort to tackle. How could we spread the word?
If you're traveling South East Asia and have had similar experiences or think you can answer some of my questions, please reach out to me on LinkedIn or in the comment section!

Ex-'Bachelor' Star Waives Right To Speedy Trial Over Crash
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Former star of "The Bachelor" Chris Soules has waived his right to a speedy trial and has requested that his trial be postponed.
Soules is charged with leaving the scene of a deadly crash and faces up to five years in prison if he's convicted of causing the April 24 crash that killed 66-year-old farmer Kenneth Mosher.
Attorneys for Soules said Wednesday they need at least a 90-day extension to obtain items from prosecutors and schedule depositions. Soules' trial is currently scheduled to start July 19.
Police say Soules rear-ended Mosher's tractor and left the scene after calling 911 and seeking help for Mosher. He was arrested later at his home.

Need a Live Music Fix? Take a Rafting Trip with RiverWonderGrass
RiverWonderGrass—a marriage between WinterWonderGrass festivals and the rafting guides at Adrift Dinosaur—offers river trips that double as concerts.
By Kiran Herbert • July 21, 2020
Scotty Stoughton is an entrepreneur and known to cultivate what some would call a "good vibe." The man behind the annual WinterWonderGrass and Campout for the Cause music festivals, now Colorado institutions, Stoughton is a musician as well as a river rat. Almost a decade ago, Stoughton founded SUPCo with his business partner Javier Placer, pioneering the sport of stand-up paddleboarding in Colorado. In 2017, the pair bought Adrift Dinosaur, a guiding outfit, and began offering trips on the Green and Yampa rivers.
Now, with traditional concerts no longer a safe option, they've launched RiverWonderGrass: Four-day, 44-mile rafting trips on the Green River through Dinosaur National Monument that combine nature, community, and live music.
[Read More: WinterWonderGrass Celebrates All Things Colorado]
Five years ago, Stoughton and Placer did a 21-day trip through the Grand Canyon on their paddleboards, an epic adventure that served as inspiration for the trips they offer now. "After that trip, I said we've got to find a way to bring people that experience without the huge commitment or expense," Stoughton says. "We bought Adrift with the goal of putting together stand-up paddleboard, raft, and eventually music trips, all with the mission of exposing people to this incredibly deep and sacred outdoor experience."
When coronavirus hit and local musicians were suddenly without summer tours and festivals, Stoughton decided the time was ripe to launch the company's first music trips, commencing the first trip in early July. Through September, Adrift Dinosaur will host five trips with 25 guests each and full bands, including Trout Steak Revival and Buffalo Commons along for the ride. The last launch, September 10 to 13, features Andy Thorn of Leftover Salmon, Daniel Rodriguez of Elephant Revival, and National Flatpicking Champion Tyler Grant of the band Grant Farm.
"I cannot overstate the beauty of the experience, for all involved," says Grant, who was also on RiverWonderGrass' test launch in early June. "Adrift takes care of everything and we just float, paddle, pick, sing, eat, and enjoy the beauty of the river. We musicians have sets to play and entertaining to do, which is normal for us, and the guests can just take it all in."
At $1,100 per person, the trips are all-inclusive—no rafting experience or additional gear required. Guides man the rafts and cook all the meals, which include locally sourced, organic ingredients, and are surprisingly elaborate considering the setting (think: fresh pancakes and scrambled eggs for breakfast, kale salads for lunch, and steaks with homemade cherry sauce for dinner). Each trip features one band along for the float, and paying guests are free to simply listen to the sound of acoustic music reverberating through the canyons, observe the wildlife, ask questions about the geology and history of the land, and build new friendships. In the time of coronavirus, that last point can feel groundbreaking.
"It's an opportunity to interact with others in a safe, outdoor, small group environment," says Grant, acknowledging that it's also a chance for guests to build friendships with musicians they love.
As COVID-19 cases continue to spike nationally, Adrift has asked all guests to quarantine for 14 days ahead of time, as well as self-monitor for symptoms and take their temperature in the days prior. If anyone gets sick on the trip, there are protocols in place that have been set by the National Park Service and local governments.
"RiverWonderGrass is a really good time, but it's really mostly about supporting the mental health of everybody," says Stoughton, emphasizing the opportunity to disconnect from social media and the news while escaping your living room. "It's really all about inspiring community, positivity, and deep, deep conversations."
All trips maintain a 10 p.m. curfew and although guests can pack a 12-pack per person, drinking while on the river and drug use are forbidden. Without the distractions of a typical concert, on isolated sand beaches under the stars and around a fire, guests can reconnect with the earth, themselves, and one another.
"The theme of these trips is really 'Less Party, More Purpose,'" says Stoughton, who plans on running the excursions for years to come. "Four days on the river can restore a lot."

The first design was kinda simple and never really built to run indefinitely; on the contrary, it was meant to last long enough for the office Fitbit competition at the time (about a week I think). It was enough to get me through a competition, anyway. Certainly not a design I'd wish to build multiples of and then sell. They would have all failed soon after their users started them up. Turns out RC servos, even the high-quality all-metal-gear ones. I killed three different kinds of servos, one of them being VERY expensive.
I was watching old engineering videos from 1939 on YouTube one day and saw a cool demonstration of a cam and follower in a machine of unknown purpose. I realized then that I could make a very simple contraption using 3D printing and a geared DC motor to shake a Fitbit up and down very easily. It could be super-simple to assemble, cheap to print all the parts but the motor and probably run off a simple 12V wall wart power supply.
I 3D printed the parts at Xometry (http://xometry.com). The tolerances on this first attempt were a little tight, so I'm changing up the CAD a bit to save me some plastic shaving and trimming. That's mostly because I'm still kinda new to 3D printing. The total cost for the four parts and shipping was about $50. If I got around to buying a 3D printer, that would be much cheaper, of course.
The 12V DC gear motor came from Robot Shop (http://www.robotshop.com) and cost about $25 with shipping. The gear motor is design to run at about 58 RPM. Since the cam has two high sides, it pops the Fitbit up and down about twice a second which is a pretty brisk walk, if not a run.
The screws I already had on hand. The power comes from a cheap 12V wall wart power adapter from Radio Shack. Anything that can provide about 60 mA of power will suffice. That's the draw I measured while it was running with a Fitbit attached. 1 amp adapters are pretty easy to find.
Originally, I'd designed a gap between the cam and the holder for a 1/8" steel ball, thinking that would allow smoother operation. Turns out that caused a tiny bit of binding which made the device louder and made the motor work harder. Without the bearing, the plastic-on-plastic is quite smooth and doesn't appear to be wearing at all.
As far as efficiency, as I write this it is 8:38 PM. The Fitbit app says the machine has racked up 116,000 steps since midnight. I think it's on its way to about 135,000 for a 24-hour period. I was told there'd be no math.
I like making things even if they have no real useful purpose. THIS device certainly qualifies. If you're interested in purchasing one, drop me a message. I'll work on getting them up on my store on this site. Haven't worked out a price since everything has been purchased at one-off pricing.

KabbalaOnline.org Weekly Torah Archives Bereishit - Genesis Vayechi Mystic Stories
R. Avrohom Yehoshua Heschel of Kopischnitz followed the ways of his ancestor the Apter Rov as an ohev Yisrael, a lover of Jews. In post–World War II America, he carried the pain and suffering of countless individuals on his weak and frail shoulders. Indeed, often when he heard the problems of others he would break down in uncontrollable weeping. The grief of his fellow Jews tormented him much more than his own afflictions, and countless times the rebbe put his name and honor at risk in an attempt to help others.
His wife had been refused entry due to ill health, and was on Ellis Island awaiting deportation.
Once a broken survivor of the Nazi inferno showed up at the rebbe's door, crying hysterically. He had just arrived from Europe and was hoping to settle in America. His wife, however, had been refused entry due to her ill health, and was on Ellis Island awaiting imminent deportation. The man was inconsolable, and indicated that if his wife was indeed deported, he wouldn't think twice about taking his own life.
"Don't worry, please don't worry!" implored the rebbe. "I promise you that by next week your wife will be here together with you!" Upon hearing the rebbe's words, an immediate feeling of calm overtook the distressed man; greatly relieved, he went away a new person.
R. Morgenshtern, one of the chassidim who had witnessed the scene, gathered up his courage and asked the rebbe how it was possible for him to make an outrageous guarantee like that with such ease. It was no less than promising a miracle!
He will say, "Avrohom Yehoshua is not a real rebbe; Avrohom Yehoshua is a liar."
"You saw how hysterical the poor man was," the rebbe replied. "My first concern was to calm him down, and thank G‑d I succeeded. At least for the next week he will feel better. If after a week he sees that I was wrong and his wife was deported, he will say, 'Avrohom Yehoshua is not a real rebbe; Avrohom Yehoshua is a liar.' But at least for a week I succeeded in bringing some hope into his life."
With that the rebbe took his Tehillim (book of Psalms) and began to recite its verses with intense emotion. As the tears were streaming down his face, he could be heard pleading, "Please, Hashem, please, see to it that Avrohom Yehoshua didn't say a lie. I was only trying to help a Jew in a pathetic situation. Please don't let me be a liar!" And in this fashion his prayers continued long into the night.
Hashem heard his prayers, and within a week the woman was granted permission to stay in America and was reunited with her husband.

Connection to this week: The fast day of the 10th of Tevet
R. Avrohom Yehoshua Heschel of Kopischnitz [4 Iyar 1888—16 Tammuz 1967], a great-grandson of the Ruzhiner Rebbe on his mother's side, was named after his paternal ancestor, the Apter Rebbe. After World War I he moved to Vienna, and after World War II, to the Lower East Side neighborhood of New York City. Wherever he lived he was renowned for his supreme kindness and great ahavat Yisrael (love of one's fellow Jew). His dedication to refugees of the wars was especially extraordinary. In Israel, he opened an orphanage in Petach Tikveh, called Beit Avraham, which exists until this day.

My Capoeira Journey from Brazil to Oberlin
Elise Steenburgh '22
In the Heritage of Pastinha, Mestre Pastinha is quoted saying, "No one can define it… Capoeira is full of malícia, it is art and skill, it has the potential for everything that is thought to be good in life" (2.2.34). Mestre Decânio emphasizes Pastinha's statement to explain how "the multiple aspects of capoeira manifest themselves according to the context." For example, "in art it is choreography" and "in battle it is a martial art," which is how I believe most people today would describe capoeira. In my experience, I define capoeira as a journey, and it does truly manifest differently depending on my life context.
My formal introduction to capoeira was three and a half years ago. It began in the events room of a beach side hotel overlooking the Atlantic Ocean from an island off the coast of south Brazil. The island, Florianópolis, I would call home for the next year. O Grupo Capoeira Fortaleza da Ilha spread out throughout the room and paired the 30 some recent high school graduate gringos (foreigners) together and taught us ginga, esquiva, rolê, meia lua, and rabo de arraia (capoeira moves). It was insanely difficult keeping the moves straight. The mestre (master) called us to a roda (circle), pulled out a full bateria (percussion group), and called our Brazilian program leader, Yuri, to play against his top student. We watched in fascination and "sang" along. I remember thinking that they must have practiced beforehand; the choreography was seamless. After the session, a bunch of us went to the beach to practice capoeira, but ended up horsing around and pushing each other into the ocean.
my friends teaching Capoeira to our cohort
Foi na beira do mar, (It was at the seashore)
foi na beira do mar,
aprendi a jogar (I learned to play)
capoeira de angola (Capoeira Angola)
na beira do mar. (At the seashore)
These lyrics to a song we sing in the roda resonate with me, but I wish they were more my truth. I was introduced to capoeira on the seashore, but I let my fear hold me back from pursuing capoeira in Brazil. To a gringa, capoeira meant intimidation of "the other."
While I was in Brazil, I made the decision to attend Oberlin, though I was uncertain that it was the right choice. However, once I saw the Oberlin Capoeira Angola (OCA) video on the class Facebook group, I realized that Oberlin might be the best place for me to maintain my connection to Brazil — really, to connect me where I had been too scared to connect before. Since my first year, I am so fortunate to have found belonging in such a welcoming community of OCA, even though I would often let other commitments pull me away from capoeira — music ensembles, science labs, extra hours at work, and, of course, homework. However, like Mestre Curió, "... I learned, in colleagues' rodas, how we are all angoleiro brothers and sisters in a big angoleiro family!" (49). As a lost first-year, I was extremely grateful to Deron, Miyah, and Socrates for creating a space for those of us who were new to Oberlin, capoeira, and/or each other to easily allow ourselves to be vulnerable and closer to one another. The moves were difficult, and I was still too intimidated to participate in rodas, but it felt right to be there, even when it was hard to find my place elsewhere in Oberlin. When I was lost and alone, capoeira meant belonging.
My second semester, capoeira became my workout. Like Pastinha, I "recognized capoeira as a way to maintain physical fitness and rejuvenate the body" (1.2.4). After a terrible break-up, I had an intense desire to work out and committed myself to having a better body and soul. Capoeira helped with my stress and emotions, and I felt more connected to the art. I loved the intensives, and slowly gained courage to participate in rodas, though I was still very intimidated.
My first roda at Oberlin
During this time, I was interested in the technical details, though physically I was mostly unable to do them. I remember, after countless weeks of trial and error, I was finally able to do a handstand against the wall. I screamed with joy — and immediately fell over. I was overwhelmed with my new achievement, and the others clapped, proud of me as well, and it felt so good. As a workout, capoeira means testing your physical limits and breaking them.
First semester, second year, I did not do my duty. According to Pastinha, "one's duty is to be honest with oneself, it is to respect oneself, it is to act with clear awareness" (2.2.56). I went through the semester in a haze, focusing on different obligations and relationships that were not healthy for me in the long run. I was unable to take Capoeira Angola I, which disheartened me, but I even kept myself too occupied to attend OCA meetings. I felt that I was spiraling downward, and I wasn't aware enough of myself and my needs. I remember getting a text from Ava, reminding me that I could always confide in them if I needed support and to come back to capoeira since they knew how healing playing capoeira can be. I played on the occasion with Zoe out in Hark Bowl and attended the capoeira weekend intensive, where alums came back to train us, and finally realized how much I needed capoeira. I realized I had to enroll in Capoeira Angola II to commit myself back to the art, and Decânio's interpretation of the quote, "the fulfillment of duty makes up part of the fundamental necessities of the personality, indispensable to well-being, to happiness" resonates so strongly with me now. Capoeira means my duty.
Reflecting on my semester in Capoeira Angola II , I really felt Curió's quote: "When we enter the capoeira roda, our composure changes, our strategies for playing capoeira become diverse; ...everybody has an animal that they identify with in their movements; that way, there is no single pattern nor is there only one form of play for Capoeira Angola" (47). Through our sequences and movement practices, I can tell that I am diversifying my capoeira playbook. Through the readings and interactions with other students, I began to clearly see the diversity in capoeira: the diversity that brings people to capoeira and the diversity in skill, style, and thought. Capoeira means diversity in all these things and more.
Looking to the future of my capoeira journey, I am more committed to diving deeper than ever. I know it's a bit early in my capoeira career to be giving myself a name, but I am striving to become Beija Flor. As Curió says, many mestres and players are named after the animals they embody in their movements, and I hope to become a hummingbird.
beija flor in São Luiz do Paraitinga
When I was in Brazil, the little birds became incredibly important to me since they would fly by at very formative moments — when I first connected with my host grandma about homesickness, when I realized the complicated nature of being mixed race, when I travelled alone around São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Hummingbirds mean changing pace, adapting to new challenges, letting go of the past to become light and embrace the future. I have a long way to go to become Mestra Beija Flor, but it's a goal to strive for, to stay light on my feet, flit around the game, adapting to whoever I'm playing against and changing pace accordingly, as a hummingbird would. Capoeira means becoming, and the journey it takes to get there.
Capoeira Angola I and II are taught by Prof. Justin Emeka '95 and are cross-listed in the Africana Studies and Dance Departments.

Q: Alternative to eval() javascript I work mainly with javascript, Jquery, knockout, etc
The thing that attracted eval() to me is
var a = 5;
var b = 10;
eval("a+b");
//Gives me output 15

Note: I work in cases where the value of a and b changes dynamically
In my work I'm dealing with a lot of dynamic objects from json, knockout, etc. So eval solves most of my problems.
But as I read I found there are so many issues with eval() like slowing down etc.
I searched a lot and haven't found any substitute for eval() when i have to evaluate equation obtaining as string into equation as object.
Can anyone suggest a plugin or function alternative to eval() keeping in mind the example i have given above
Problem:
I'm creating a Table from Json data using knockout mapping. So that what ever the format of json is the table is generated. I also calculate some field using knockout computed.
Right now I use hard-coded
self.Salary = ko.computed(function(){ return self.salaryEqn() && eval(self.salaryEqn()).toFixed(2); })
self.salaryEqn(salEqnTxt);

I want to execute these equations dynamic. I can create it dynamicaly as string but to eval them is the issue I'm facing.
I want solution for
Is there a way to calculate a formula stored in a string in JavaScript without using eval?
Like a formula
 "self.Salary = ko.computed(function(){ return self.salaryEqn() && eval(self.salaryEqn()).toFixed(2); })"

A: do you mean that you want to calculate an equation that you can't know until you've received it?
if so see Calculate string value in javascript, not using eval .
in short:
eval CAN be used sometimes, but only if the equation string comes from a trusted source, and there you need something like evaluating dynamic equations.

A: Javascript is a very flexible language in this regard. There are very very few cases where eval() is the right answer to any given question, and it certainly isn't necessary here.
If your a and b variables are part of an object, you can access them with string subscripts:
ie myobj.a could also be referenced as myobj['a'].
From that, you can use a variable for the subscript, and thus you can reference any element in myobj dynamically -- ie:
var myobj = {a : 5, b : 10};

var dynamicProperty1 = 'a';
var dynamicProperty2 = 'b';

//gives 15.
alert( myobj[dynamicProperty1] + myobj[dynamicProperty2] );

No eval() required. You can build the dynamicProperty strings however you wish, so there's virtually infinite flexibility.
If your a and b variables are globals, JS globals in the browser are actually children of the window object, so you can still use this technique even with globals.
ie your global variable a could also be accessed via window.a or window['a'], with the latter option allowing you to do the same dynamicProperty trick described above.
Hope that helps.

A: maybe using window['var' + num] might be more useful for you. i don't quite understand your question sorry.

A: If you can collect them under an object like root = {a: 1, b: 2}, then
Object.observe(root, function(newValues) {
    res = newValues.object.a + newValues.object.b;
});

can keep your res variable up to date whenever the a or b changes

A: It looks like you are trying to do dynamic equations created by a user.
For example it could be 'a+b+c' or 'dog+cat', and you don't know.
The best way to handle user-input equations like that is to parse the text into tokens and then translate the tokens into values/operands.
That's a lot of work, but there are pre-rolled solutions.  For example, math.js

A: Check more alternatives to eval in this question and another one here which both might be considered a duplicate...
I understand this is a link only answer, but it will for sure be helpful to others searching for alteratives to eval.

New Band to Burn One To: COOGAN'S BLUFF
Heavy Planet presents today's "New Band To Burn One To"...COOGAN'S BLUFF !
Since 2003, Coogan's Bluff (named after an old Eastwood movie from 1968) have been celebrating their musical journey through time and space. Sonically it's an amalgam of what happened during the late-60s and early 70s, paired and seasoned with Stoner rock influences and epic instrumental parts, with catchy hooks and funky wind section. Since recording "CB RADIO" (2007) and MAGIC BUBBLES (2011) the band has leaped forward with "PONCHO EXPRESS" (2012),
Attemwere made in the two predecessor albums to describe the music produced. Concepts such as "natural-heavy-kickass-blues-rock & roll-krautrock" , were espoused, but a couple more dashes may be necessary this time around. The stops are pulled out the trend police must wait outside. It may be simply about the superlative of genre names: ROCK. Ornate, decorated, stamped, sprayed in big letters.
Paschen Charlie (drums), Willi Paschen (guitar), Clemens Marasus (bass) and Thilo Streubel (vocals) have been more than a decade, Coogan's Bluff. Thilo had to take a baby break, however, a tempting offer to play on the on Duna Jam festival in Sardinia, encouraged the band to press on and rebuild with Stefan MeinKing (trombone) and Max Thum (saxophone) as a way to mask a lack of vocals. Both had been on present "MAGIC BUBBLES." The new album however, featured no instrumentals as bassist Clemens grabbed the mic and what spewed forth oozed Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits and a Jimmmy Castor with its extremely heavy all encompassing 70s-radio mashup.
In just two days, "PONCHO EXPRESS," was recorded live and analog (what else) was mixed by Charlie himself. This is where the 70s-90s meld, with a TÜV seal from the here and now. The record evokes UFO, Golden Earring, The Stooges, and Can, but also channels Pearl Jam, Big Chief, and Monster Magnet. With an organic and authentic vibe, raucous riffs, crafty catchy melody, catchy hooks, and funky grooves, the album gives way to both dancing and head-banging. The donkey is saddled ... take a ride.
"Coogan's bluff are a freaky group. Drawing from krautrock influences to oldschool blues and funk, the band screams Beefheart, Zappa, and early King Crimson all at the same time.They also channel sick 90s-style Monster Magnet tinged riffage and tune in and out on this wild tripped out Desert-Western vibe. This record has something for everyone and is definitely for anyone looking for a DIFFERENT kind of rock record. Kudos to the group for knowing their stuff when it comes to early 70s prog and space rock - a retro-tinged masterpiece. Dig it!"

Internship benefits are two-fold: individuals gain practical experience in a career that compliments their skills and piques their interest, and employers have the opportunity to attract future employees.
The Career Education Opportunity program in Van Wert connects high school seniors with local companies. The result is a mutual awareness of local talent and existing professional opportunities.
The concept began at Van Wert High School two years ago and has expanded to all Van Wert County's high schools this year. It gives interested seniors the ability to learn more extensively about a career, such as the day-to-day aspects of being an accountant, the duties of a firefighter, the expectations of a graphic designer, and much more. It also helps students develop the soft skills all employers seek. In the 2018-19 school year, 56 students and 30 companies are participating in the program.
Kerry Koontz is coordinator of CEO, which began with 17 students and 12 companies. He is a careers counselor at Van Wert High School and understands local companies are expecting a large number of retirements in the near future and good-paying jobs will go unfilled if the young workforce leaves for college and does not return to the community. He also wants students to learn many quality jobs don't require a four-year college degree.
Student interns report to the assigned business 75-80 minutes each day during a semester. The time of the day varies and is coordinated with the student's schedule and what works best for the business.
Some students gain reinforcement about their career choice. The CEO program has led several students to become STNAs and another earned a real estate licensure.
Other interns benefit from learning what they don't want to do in the future.
Koontz said one student intern was placed in a setting to learn more about physical therapy.
After a period of time, she changed her career decision and is now attending a four-year college majoring in graphic design.
The program has also led to summer, part-time and full-time positions for some students, Koontz added.
Stacy Adam, Executive Director of the Van Wert Area Economic Development Corporation, said connecting the next generation of employees with the region's employers is a tremendous asset.
"It is programs like CEO that can give Van Wert an edge when it comes to meeting workforce demands of existing and potential companies," she said.
